Nicky's Banh Mi

About a month ago, I wrote a long post detailing my experience at Saigon Banh Mi (ridiculous wait, decent sandwich).

In response, several people (Nina W, The Rogue, amp156, and ivie) pointed me towards Nicky's, who I paid a visit to shortly thereafter.

I've really been slacking on posting this, and I'm not really in the mood to get into a long thing right now, but...

Nicky's pork chop banh mi is the best version of the sandwich I've yet had, better than Saigon, So 1, etc. The pork chop was delicious, the vegetables complimented everything in a much more subtle and enjoyable way, and the bread roundly blew away the rolls used by the others (sitting on a bench in that park on the other side of Houston, I must have looked like a nut staring at my sandwich like I was).

agree 100%. saigon banh mi is transcendent and incredible, one of my all time favorite foods in new york. their new location, tucked away in the back of a traditional jewelry store, is totally surreal.

nicky's pork sandwich is bland in comparison.

that being said, i love nicky's because the staff is so lovely. i love that they have a veg version (and a damn good portabello shroom it is); their chicken sandwich is nice too.
